June 25, 2013 – Atlanta, Georgia – This morning, Jabian Director Michael Lan presented a case study on developing Georgia’s first Science and Technology Strategic Plan at the monthly Dunwoody Perimeter Coffee Connection event, hosted by the Dunwoody Chamber of Commerce. Key takeaways included the foundational steps in developing a strategic plan, key principles of an actionable strategy, and how to avoid getting stuck before you start.
At the end of last year, the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) and the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) asked Jabian Consulting to help lead an executive committee to develop the state’s first Science and Technology Strategic Plan. The pro-bono effort established a holistic and practical vision, mission, and set of goals for the state of Georgia created through a series of working sessions conducted with the committee; several of the strategic initiatives are now underway.
This morning, Michael Lan discussed how business owners and members of the Dunwoody Chamber of Commerce can influence and support these initiatives to further impact Georgia’s business ecosystem.
